How to open TARC file?
The main problem with TrakaxPC Data Format is that the TARC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TARC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TARC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install trakaxPC
The first step is to check if the computer has the trakaxPC program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name trakaxPC in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TARC.
Programs to open TARC file
Remember to download programs supporting TARC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of trakaxPC with TARC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TARC file to open in the trakaxPC application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TARC file with the trakaxPC program.
Step 3. Update trakaxPC to the latest version
If, despite the association of the trakaxPC program with the TrakaxPC Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Highandes Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TARC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TARC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TARC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TARC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TARC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TARC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TARC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TARC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TARC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TARC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
